Items.

Now let's eat some cake!

I support this plan.

Who doesn't?

they don't help the other person when you have it.

EXACTLY.

Items give a random advantage to whoever is closer to the item. if you get a Lynn, I'm screwed. If I get a Lynn, you're screwed. It just randomly gives whoever gets it a boost, which can turn around the entire match, making so that a noob can easily beat a pro, which is just plain wrong.

just for clarification... Here's a list of items I can stand. Although obviously I won't use any of these in a competitive match.

Containers and Crates (duh)
Blast Box, takes strategy and thinking
Dragoon, makes for interesting strategy.
Metal Box, has ups and downs, more of a "give up some stats for other stats" rather than a random upgrade.
Beam Sword
Gooey Bombs
Smart Bombs
Smoke Balls
Bumpers
Springs
Soccer Balls
Team Healers
Franklin Badges

Lyn's not that great.

The only item I hate is the Dragoon. Its a ****** fest to get it and is just like a final smash.

That's why it's awesome!!!! :gyroidcircle:

And serious matches I don't really see why they're serious...

I'm talking skill-based matches. It's like... compare a casual bout of Mario Kart with a chess match. The former is, well... casual. You don't really care if you win or lose. With a serious chess match, you're probably playing to win.

Actually Mario Kart tends to be more serious and Chess is more fun. I couldn't care less if I lost in Chess, but I have to win in Mario Kart (and I do )

I care more about if I win or lose at Russian Roulette than I do if I win against someone in Brawl.

(Then again, if it was against you guys... ) :gyroidshifty:
